Creating new folders or labels

To add a new folder or label to one of your email accounts, hover over the header of the "Folders" or "Labels" section in the sidebar. If you're using Unified Inbox, the section may display the name of your email account.

Click the “+” that appears to create a new folder or label and then type the name you'd like to use. When you're done editing, type "Return" or "Enter" to create the new item.

Sub-folders and Sub-Labels

To create a label or folder that will appear within an existing one, follow the instructions above but type a name that includes the existing folder as a prefix. For example, if an existing folder is called "Receipts", creating a new folder with the name "Receipts/Uber" will cause it to appear within the Receipts folder.

We know this approach to creating subfolders and sublabels is a bit confusing - we're hoping to revisit it soon.
